This is probably the reason why I don't have a Facebook account...

... and why I'm thinking to delete my quite unused MySpace one.

read on Michael Breyette's blog: http://michaelbreyette.blogspot.com/2010/02/when-does-objection-to-nudity-become.html

Do you remember my post about the next exhibition of Paul Richmond and his Cheesecake Boys? Michael will be one of the gaylebrities that will model as Cheesecake Boys and he posted a funny picture on his Facebook fan page:



and yes, I'm reposting it not under the cut. I don't have anything against nudity, and people that frequent my Man Candy posts well know that, but if there is a full frontal nudity I put it under a cut. In this case, I will not, but not since I want to be daring, but since I don't find the above picture "scandalous". There is only an hint of cheeks, no butt crack, I even find it more thoughtful than sexy.

As I said in my comment on Michael's post, I don't like the majority of people on those media, so I'm not surprised that a woman, who was in the list of Michael's friends (!) asked for the picture to be removed... but that Facebook actually did it? They don't have a thinking mind? There is porn and there is art, and all right, sometime there is a subtle line between them, but not in the case above.

So I will state it here, profiting of Michael's disaventure: I will post pictures of naked men (or women if I like), but if it's a full frontal nude, I will put it under a cut. If not, I will post it as above. Friends, you will have to trust me and my judgement.

i had an account in Facebook but i deleted it because i don't feel safe and its pretty much useless to me (i already have Livejournal to rant anyway ^__^) i had a Myspace too but deleted it. Had a Twitter but deleted it too =______=

i think the Facebook people have no right to remove that picture (that woman who commented, does she even know who she friended?)

We are pretty similar: I had twitter for less than a month, deleted it; I had facebook for less than half day, deleted it when I started to receive strange friend request; I had myspace, but spend most of the time there deleting friends request from people I don't know and am not interested in knowing. Till now, only LiveJournal gave me a positive experience. Elisa
